    Good points dude. But I don't think Floyd will be using the shoulder role against a southpaw in Manny.

    none of it will matter.


    gameplan = your destruction.

    roach is going to have to be mission command control while wiping his snotty blood.


    you fools that hate the man so much for his personality and love manny pac like mr. t when you were a kid are going to have to face it when he gets defeated. and be cool... no excuses.
    be a boxing fan.

    all manny can do is try some tricks... he couldn't even crack the code of clottey.

    I think the Oscar fight looked like that because they were prepared to be the smaller, less powerful, less durable chinned fighter in there, and they tried to fight as perfectly as possible and take advantage of the only obvious attribute that they are better at, than their opponent (speed)

    It was like playing a game of HANGMAN. You're only allowed 5 mistakes, and if you commit more than that, you're dead.

    Notice how when you play one on one, playground basketball for example, and you're against a taller, bigger opponent?

    Your normal style of play might be slow, lumbering, less aggressive and less active, but you notice that you're pushing yourself to play quicker than you ever do when you play a bigger guy, just to be able to take advantage of any little advantage that you have on him, even if it's not really your style.

    Changing up your style, just to have a better chance of winning or at least avoiding getting thoroughly dominated and embarrased.

    lol good point... it'll be up to him to adjust to a fast and powerful southpaw. I know his shoulder roll is integral to 50% of his right counters though... can a Mayweather's right beat Pac's anticipated left hook? It is a straight punch, but a real close race lol

    to me, the biggest 2 questions ive got "Will Mayweather be able to discourage Pacquiao from offense because of getting beat to the punch or getting countered?"
    IMHO - NO, Pacquiao's proven his fighting spirit and resilience

    "Will Mayweather dictate the pace of the fight. which he relies on?"
    IMHO - NO, Pacquiao's a serious pressure fighter and his relentless

    And why did the Mayweather Sr accuse Pacquiao for taking PEDS?
    He said it himself, that Pacquiao CANNOt be that relentless while going up in weightclass.
    This is the underlying fear of the Mayweather camp too, they wont be able to dictate the pace/pressure of the fight because of Pac's relentlessness. Mayweather values himself as a "Controller" and knocks down every fighter's punching average.... Pacquiao proved that he can put out a 100+ punch avg output if needs be, Mayweather's reserved style dont wanna deal with that!

    That is funny :lol: Manny must be crazy.

    Anyways, there are a lot of fighters who faced Floyd who has said the same things about how easy it would be, but once they get in the ring its a whole different story. It is easier said than done by Manny, Floyds defence is a lot better than Clotteys and Floyd will hit you back, unlike Clottey who threw 5 punches a round.

    It will be fun watching Pac's plan B turn out the same as everyone else. Stop throwing to avoid getting countered and covering up.

    The more i think about the fight the more I think mayweather after 5 rounds will start to make Pac look like novice in the ring, the same thing he did to marquez.

    I dont think it will be as onesided as the Marquez fight. I think Pac is gonna look good in the first couple of rounds, but once we reach the 5th Floyd will have figured him out, and he would beat him silly from there on. Only chance I see Manny beating Mayweather is if he knocks him out early, if the fight goes more than 4 rounds Pac is a dead man.

    Everybody thinks the outcome is a done deal - bull**** - I still think Manny puts him to sleep. When he lands a couple of shots in Round 2 like Shane did, Manny's not going to be gassed. He's going to keep putting the shots together for the rest of the fight!

    Pac has a better chance fighting off instincts...gameplans only confuse and makes the fighter think too much and thats all Floyd needs.

    gameplans=no good against Floyd

    Go in there and make it a war! The thing about Pac is that he makes you fight! You can stand there all day, but your going to take some shots.

    even those 5 punches per round ..per say... still made manny look worse than he did.
